As the Australian Right-of-centre Liberal party stares down the barrel of another election defeat, it's further proof, says Professor James Allan, that there are no prizes for conservatives who kowtow to the Left.

The WHO?s Pandemic Treaty Consolidates the Pandemic Preparedness Scam Sat Apr 26, 2025 09:00 | Dr David Bell
The WHO's new Pandemic Agreement, set to be agreed next month, consolidates the pandemic preparedness scam, says Dr David Bell. Built on a heap of falsehoods about the true health risks humanity faces, it must be rejected.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Will there be a protest against this visit like there was to the JFK US military aircraft carrier almost a decade ago?
maybe there just merchant navy :/ anyway, heres a slightly off-topic question, It keep being put to anti-war activist that nobody was protesting back then in 50 yrs since military planes used Shannon so does anyone old enough remember any form of protest not so much protestors at the fence but at embassies and VIP visits or NGOs or academic voicing concern over Irelands involvement in any military action by a beligerant in a third country before 1991, and for the MTV generation pics and videos please?
The Pitstop Ploughshares and Dublin Catholic Worker communities staged a vigil in Dublin over 2 years ago when the USS La Salle docked at Dublin.

This time round there is sufficient time for all active anti-war/peace groups to voice their opposition autonomously or collectively to this pending visit.

Of course Trident is just an independent nuclear deterrent as well, and in no way encourages other people to want nukes as well.
I've a suggestion for you all.... well the good swimmers amongst you....
By far the most talked about "micro-left" protest ever done over here in Barcelona was the invasion by land, sea & air of the Forum in 2004. & I wager you'll attract lots of attention if you use the same methodology - rafts. http://indymedia.ie/article/65978#comment82109 & following 2 comments & video http://barcelona.indymedia.org/newswire/display/105925/...x.php
This how to make a short range raft to protest a long range assault ship:
* Collect water bottles, of the 5 or 8 litre kind, if you seal them they are "buoyant" as long as they are empty if you seal them and they are full they are "ballast" - Please note - you need "buoyancy".
* Attach many such bouyancy capsules to lengths of wood (non absorbant wood is best, a lick of flourescent paint will do )
* Hoist a flag - if you're my kind of person, a jolly roger will do. If you're RSF you'll probably go for the tricolour - & if you're SWP remember to laminate your posters as they might get soggy.
* Phone up Fox-news & its local equivalents & tell them you're launching a protest attack on HMS Ocean.
* make the phone call before you put to sea / river, a soggy mobile is like a soggy poster - it loses its power.
